According to a student group in the Philippines, ‘Samahan ng Progresibong Kabataan’ (Spark), among the 27.2 million students under primary and secondary education systems—only 10.5 million have enrolled since the Department of Education (DepEd) opened its online enrollment procedures at the early part of June. This is because most students cannot afford gadgets like laptops, smartphones, and a stable internet connection.
With your old smartphone—you can help a student struggling to have a sustainable education during this crisis.
